Aiming for Success: Setting Local Goals to Meet 2015 State Requirements

New state law requires the California Community College Chancellor’s Office to develop a framework of indicators measuring the institutional effectiveness of each college in the state in the areas of student success, accreditation, fiscal health, and compliance with state and federal guidelines. All colleges must develop, adopt, and post their goals for these indicators by June 30, 2015.

To help colleges meet this rapidly approaching statutory deadline, the Chancellor’s Office, through the newly established Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative, is hosting a series of regional workshops. All workshops will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend the workshops, through participants are responsible for any travel costs. Registration is required through EventBrite.
